Metro Bank increases max loan sizes for residential mortgages

Metro Bank has increased its maximum loan sizes for residential properties.

The changes mean that loans up to 90% loan-to-value (LTV) will have a maximum loan amount of £1.25m, and loans up to 85% LTV will have a maximum loan amount of £2m.

This marked an increase from £675,000 and £1m, respectively.

Charles Morley, director of mortgage distribution at Metro Bank, said: “We understand that every person’s property journey is different and we work hard to make sure our product range reflects that.

“Today’s changes will support those higher earning customers who are borrowing £1m or more but may have a smaller deposit than many more mainstream products might allow.

“Ultimately providing greater flexibility and choice for the customer while also ensuring the health and vitality of the mortgage market.”
